There is a website that populates a table with athlete scores during a 
competition. I would like to be able to extract those scores from the website 
and place them into a data frame if this is possible. The website is at the 
link below:

http://games.crossfit.com/leaderboard

One complication is that one must manually click through multiple pages as the 
table only populates a few hundred rows on one web page. In looking at the 
source code of the website, I think I can go to here and maybe grab scores, but 
I am not sure if R can someone read them in from this and populate a data frame 
and subsequently grab data from every page.

http://games.crossfit.com/scores/leaderboard.php?loadfromcookies=1&numberperpage=60&full=1&showathleteac=1<view-source:http://games.crossfit.com/scores/leaderboard.php?loadfromcookies=1&numberperpage=60&full=1&showathleteac=1>

I have not done anything like this before, and so any guidance is appreciated.


Thank you

Harold
